Nice "Vibe" Glasses
These came a little bit "bent", so they aren't the studiest glasses in the world. Didn't think they would be, for the price-point. The first day i wore them to work, a customer said, "I like your glasses - nice vibe goin' on." Made me smile. I'm a 55-year-old female, and staying 'relevant' and connected in the workplace is important.

Package better please
Glasses are crooked I believe due to only being in the bag, no box.I actually love them. They're light weight and comfortable. Love.

Small & stylish but colors could be more vibrant
Was looking for some smaller reading glasses I could wear while also watching TV and they would sit down lower on my eyes so I could see both. Size wise these are perfect as well as stylish and a bit unusual which I love. Bought these in the tortoiseshell and received compliments on them. Was excited for the colorful red ones and especially green and ordered them as well. Those colors are so dark and muddy they really just appear brown. Overall happy with them but just wish for more vibrant color options.

I like the look but a couple of design flaws
I am finding the size and shape of these lens and the positioning of the comfortable nose bridge perfect for extended wear. It’s easy to position them so that they don’t interfere with my distance vision yet are fully accessible for reading. So why a three rating? Two issues that are not so significant that I will return them but significant enough that I wouldn’t order a second pair.The first issue is the width. I am a female with an average sized head, and I find the frame arms tight. It’s good that I’m comfortable with wearing the frames halfway down my nose because the arms would be just too tight to overlook if I wanted to wear them closer to my eyes. I frankly can imagine these frames on a wider face, including most male faces.The second issue is that on one of the arms, the metal adornments (which I assume was added for style) are roughly finished on the inside and the outside. I became aware of this because I noticed the interior piece was scratching my cheek. I then checked both of the pieces on this arm and felt the edges were jagged. I filed down the edged with an emergency board and added a few dabs of clear fingernail polish to cover the still somewhat edges. That has worked well enough, but it shouldn’t have been necessary, given that those pieces on the frame’s other arm are smooth on both sizes. If I were to make another purchase, I’d find a style that avoids these metal adornments so to not run the risk of rough edges. (Plus, these adornments add to the width of the arm at the point where I am feeling the most pressure on my face.)Thus, I will keep these glasses because I love the look (so much better than those stereotypical half lens librarian look) and the ease of switching between short and long distance needs. Still, those two issues would prevent me from ordering another pair.

So small!
I do love these readers. But they are very small. Like maybe meant for a 10 year old. I have a small-ish face so most normal adult glasses look ridiculously big on me. I often buy kids or Jrs glasses. But these glasses are really very small. I do love the look (when they are not on my face 😆). And they are comfortable, lightweight and sturdy. They also make me forget I’m wearing glasses. I think because the lenses are close together. So I have one full view instead of seeing rims. I think this means I need something more custom. Chah-ching!! 💸💸🤑

Good Quality - Lens Focus Small
Appear to be good quality, I have the olive color - much darker than in the photo but for my taste it’s much better. Tactical green might be a better description.They come in 2.25 X, which is often hard to find.The round lenses are very convex, giving only about a dime-sized area of focus. When you look anywhere away from center, you loose focus. Maybe they are using retro-style lens to go with the vintage look frame.I wouldn’t use this type of lens for long reading sessions, but the old style will look good in public.

Much smaller lenses than I was expecting
Really like them, good quality frames and lenses. However, not a large enough lense area.Is there a similar design frame with much larger round lenses?

defective glass
The left glass has a blurred line inside it. In addition the size of the glasses was very small.

Good for the professorial look
Added these to that collection of reading specs you leave lying here and there in your workplace and home. With their tortoiseshell frames, these achieve the retro-professor look I wanted. Non-adjustable bridge still fits firmly further down my nose, for the imperious glower. Optical glass perhaps not the best: lenses are a bit loosely mounted, the reason for deducting one star.
